PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT
Congressional Record Vol. 171, No. 13
(Senate - January 22, 2025) PDF
Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Mr. President, this is an incredibly special week
for pro-life Americans. We have welcomed back a life-affirming
administration with the second inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Both Chambers of Congress are united in our pursuit of commonsense
legislation to protect the most vulnerable Americans among us with a
vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
This Friday, we will join thousands of pro-life Americans who will
faithfully participate in the 52nd annual March for Life in our
Nation's Capital. The National March for Life always reminds us of why
we continue to fight for stronger protections for our unborn children
and for their mothers. Thankfully, the march also serves as a bright
reminder of the progress we have made as a movement.
Now, thanks to efforts led by my fellow Mississippians in the
Governor's Office, the Attorney General's Office, and in the State
legislature, we live in the Dobbs era. The entire process that brought
us to this historical overturning of Roe v. Wade almost 3 years ago
began with the introduction of a bill in the Mississippi State
Legislature called the Gestational Age Act. My dear friend
Representative Becky Currie is responsible for introducing this
legislation, which turned out to be a catalyst for such great change in
our Nation.
(The remarks of Mrs. HYDE-SMITH pertaining to the introduction of S.
Res. 30 are printed in today's Record under "Statements on Introduced
Bills and Joint Resolutions.")
Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. I yield the floor.
